Yes! If I was hired as a secretary, I could understand it more. It pisses me off that between my own work I'm told to do things like faxing and writing out envelopes.

These people have been here for years and it's just one fax! I could understand what you're saying because I never know either, but they know. I feel like they think it's beneath them.

It took me 15 minutes to figure out the fax at work because some lady finally got up to help me I felt so embarrassed especially since my own 70-year-old grandfather knows how to use it and he can't even work his own TV.

My favorite is when someone needs a pen, sticky note, copy paper. etc.. and before they even look they ask me where it is. Open the damn cabinet and look! LAZY!

All the time spent waiting on that stuff is time I can otherwise spend on doing billable work and making money for the firm.

i still do it myself but i might ask for a little help from a more seasoned user of that machine. or i'll scan it and email it. i can handle that just fine.

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I feel like people ask me to do things just to remind themselves they're important or something

It amazes me how often people come up to me and fucking ask me to fax something. They'll even write out the cover page but somehow it takes too much effort to dial the number. The thing is that I do clerical work but I'm not even the official secretary. I have my own work to do that doesn't include bitch work. I'm just not made to work in a job like this. It doesn't help that I resent being here because they moved people around and took me away from my other position....
